Two people were hospitalized early Wednesday after a shooting in Channelview, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Their injuries didn't appear to be life threatening, deputies said. The suspects fled the scene on foot and remain at large.

Both the suspects and the victims were riding in their vehicles around 2 a.m. in the 16400 block of Cedar Street when the shooting started.

Police said at least two suspects were riding in an orange sedan, and someone in the vehicle fired an "unknown type of assault rifle" toward the victim's vehicle.

The two vehicles crashed and ended up in a ditch, Metro Video reported. Deputies said they do not yet have a motive or a description of the suspects.
